The gut punch The explosion in my chest that mimics yours When we are aligned my body buzzes with a fierceness that will bring any woman to her knees I know this journey is ours to keep But how do I separate my reality? I twist and turn inside my own flesh just trying to keep my distance You’re not mine to have I am not yours Yet we are the same Two magnets desperately pulling towards one another only to find out we’ve got our facings wrong Together, apart, always connected When you are steady, I am whole When I am well, you are healed As it was many lifetimes before now it will be for every lifetime here after The halves of our soul will find their way As I watch the snow melting off the rooftop, I have an unexplainable knowing A knowing that pulsates more and more with every tik of the clock Our fates are growing But now is not our time. I am forced to resist the pull of your deep dark eyes Eyes that match mine, keeping me safe inside Damaged in union. Written by Samantha Gendr...
